While all this talk about Smartphone battery replacement is happening, nobody seems to ever talk about the laptop batteries these days also being a hassle to replace.

I dont need them to be clip on and clip off but if I unscrew the back I should be able to easily replace the battery.
And the RAM and SSD.
And please ffs let us actually unscrew the back, not just take out a couple of pointless screws and then wrestle with those awful plastic clips that always snap off and never quite go back into place properly afterwards
And then the touchpad never works quite right ever again.
or certain keys on the keyboard
My last laptop was 5 screws and the back just slid off… now my laptop is like 1cm thinner but has 12 screws and 20 clips.
On a totally unrelated note, I haven’t cleaned out my laptop recently and in relying on the fans going to max to clear any hair in them by just slicing it up. Hopefully.
Ooohhh - now I want a laptop with razor blades on its fan. Maybe also get the fan to occasionally run in reverse to blow the crud back out the intake.
